The fishing out of Port Aransas is
picking up—“Really” picking up. For most
of this Spring, the Offshore was slow.
That is my opinion.
We have gone Offshore multiple times
this year and the fishing was slow at best.
That can be expected since the
season is early. Sometimes the
Rod-Bending starts early but this year, it was a very slow start.
Today started off with some Fog and
a cool----Smoking Hot -----Spanish bite.
I caught some really good Spanish Mackerel in great numbers out of the
gate in the Near-shore water just out of the Jetty’s of Port Aransas but I was
heading Offshore for the serious hook-ups.
Tanker Alley was waiting for me as I
headed off to the Blue Water. Tony
Dehoyos was my Cameraman and we were shooting a show for Wide Open and we were
looking for Rod Bending and some hot big fish action. There were at least 12 Oil tankers anchored
up in the 50-65 foot water.
I used both Ribbon Fish and 14 inch Diving
Lures “Yo Zuri” to target the Hook Ups. The “Yo Zuri” Lures were the magic
ticket. I trolled at 5 miles per hour
and at first I cruised close to the Tankers looking for fish that were
hunkering down under the vessels. It
proved to be a zero. The open water at
65 feet was the magic ticket.
The rods went down in a big way and
we had Kings on the 80 lb line and a great Jack Crevalle that tried to take my
rod from me.
We were blessed and we had some
serious fish onboard.
It was some great fishing.
We are heading next to fish with
Captain David Tovar---Fly Fishing Aransas Pass Texas.
Don’t miss this one.
Thanks for your time today and………………..I’ll
See You…. On the Water in the Wide Open !!
Sincerely,
Dave
